Thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) is known as a technique used in radiation
dosimetry and dating. However, since the luminescence is very sensitive to the defects in a …

Persistent luminescence or afterglow is caused by a gradual release of charge carriers from
trapping centers. The energy needed to release these charge carriers is determined by the …

The research field of persistent luminescence has experienced a strong growth in the past
two decades, with a steady development of new materials and applications. Here we give an …

We employ a combination of first-principles calculations and optical characterization
experiments to explain the mechanism by which Ga 3+ doping prevents the trapping of free …

Lu 2 (1-x) Y 2x SiO 5: Ce (10 at% Y) single crystals co-doped with Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ were
prepared by the Czochralski technique. It is shown that co-doping leads to significant …

We present a short survey of the optical properties of primary radiation-induced point defects
in alkali halides, simple oxides and some ABO3 perovskites. We discuss in details the …

For the conventional persistent luminescence (PersL) charging processes, carriers are
photo‐pumped to the conduction band (CB) or high‐energy excited states (HES) under short …

Here we report a series of multifunctional Cr3+-doped magnesium gallogermanate particles.
Several minutes of ultraviolet (UV) light excitation can lead to strong near-infrared (NIR) long …

The development of luminescent materials for anticounterfeiting and encryption is of great
importance. Herein, we develop a multistimuli-responsive luminescent material …

The phosphor-converted light emitting diode (pc-LED) is an efficient light source to adjust
growth rhythm and raise yield of plant. Blue and red light play the dominant role in the …
